We were now passing the 'Welcome to Hollywood sign' as we drove down the open road. "Ooh!" Tori cooed snapping a blurry picture of everything we passed. I laughed at how much of a tourist she was. "You're such a tourist." I laugh glancing at how twisted she now was in her seatbelt-if the police saw my uncle would never let me burrow this truck again. "Its not my fault I don't have my license yet. Help me." she whined struggling against the buckle. Reaching a red light, I managed to free her from her tangled mess. "You'll sit in your seat right and watch from the front window?" I ask in as if chiding a five year old. Tori crosses her arms but manages a 'Fine' anyways.
Finally we reached a pit-stop as we pulled into the crowded parking lot. I was shocked to see how many RV's and cars were parked out here this late at night. "Gotta pee gotta pee gotta pee!" Cat screamed grabbing my arm tugging me with her. "Um, Cat. I think you're big enough to take care of that alone." I say as nicely and not weirded out as I possibly could. "She has a fear of entering pit-stops alone ever since we drove to Mona Patterson's house." Tori explained, I still didn't get it but decided not to question against it and entered the door that read exit with Cat leading me the way. "You do realize that when we get outside the lady's bathroom you're on your own, right?"
My eyelids began to fall heavy as I did my best to keep my eyes on the road. Tori was passed out beside me or so I thought till she spoke. "You should get some rest. Its not safe or fair for you to stay awoke and drive 16 hours straight." she suggested groggily. She hadn't passed out yet, but she was close. I shook my head ignoring the weights on my eyes, and remembering to open them again after each blink. "I'm good; once I stayed up a whole 3 days in a row. No sleep and no naps." I bragged about the stupid bet my cousin and I had made. Though decaf coffee was involved, that would be considered a drug in our sport, but hey! Now I was coffee less and derived. She shot straight up no longer leaning against my shoulder. I was surprised out how alert she was now when just minutes ago she was resting. But also missing the intimacy of her almost in my seat sleeping. "What?" I chuckle nervously, I really need some sleep! "Well I have an idea; for as long as you're awoke so will I!" she announced. I laughed louder this time and now she stared at me as if I'd grown two heads. "You don't think I could do it?" she said challengingly punching my arm. "I didn't say that. I just think we'll need a bit more caffeine and some music." I replied reaching for the knob by the stereo and turning on the radio. Not sure what song it was playing, but it riled the both of us up as we danced in our seats off beat.
"I spy with my little eye something…Black." Tori says randomly staring out the window. I shrug, "Could it be the night?" I guessed seeing that was all you could really see. The buildings blending in with the sky that matched the asphalt road we drove in. Only scatters of lights could be seen but barely as we sped passed them. "Come on, lets play something fun." I suggest thinking up a game before one popped in my mind. "Ooh, I love games!" she grinned rubbing her hands together. "How about questions; I ask you a question and you answer and ask me a question?" It would be a way to get to know her better than I did. My relationship with Jade had proven a bit of difficulty with us ever being more than friends, but that doesn't mean I don't want to know more about her. More than anyone knows about her. "Okay, you first." she agrees. I place my free hand on my chin and tap it lightly as if in deep thought causing her to burst into laughter. "Before I die!" she adds nudging my shoulder. "Alright patience my dear. What's the worst thing you've ever done?" I question, chancing a glance here and there between her and the road. "Um, kissing Cat's boyfriend. That was awful." she said cringing at the memory most likely. "He was that bad a kisser?" I joked scoffing causing her to giggle again. "Okay okay, um. The weirdest thing you've ever done?" Tori asked me. "No doubt, dressing as you. The wig and the dress, I could handle. But those heels? How can you walk in those?" I laugh, that was definitely going on that list. "Well you looked much better than I did in that." she complemented.
Two hours later of mindless joking we were almost there. It was a lost that the gang inside couldn't see the scenery out here, but this time Tori had reason to be such a tourist as did I. I've only came up here when I was little and again with Jade, but wow.
"Wow!" Tori breathed unbuckling herself to face the back window entirely. Finally we were in familiarity to the beach house coming into view. "Tor." I call tapping her excitedly and impatiently for her attention like some needy baby before she whirled around to see what's gotten me so uncharacteristically anxious. I pointed towards the home with the huge pool and glass doors. "Wow!" was again all she could manage as we came closer and closer into view. "We're here!" I yell in announcement opening the doors to my RV. Everyone raced out. "Thank goodness, I was going to kill that guy!" Trina yelled thumping Robbie on the forehead angrily. "Gotta pee gotta pee gotta pee!" Cat ran eagerly to the doors of the home, tugging while their still locked. "Gotta pee." she said sadly pulling again. "Welcome to Mexico!" I yell again as we run inside the huge home.
